About this map

Burnips and the surrounding farmland of Allegan County appear in this 2011 topographic survey, defined by a grid of agricultural roads and the winding courses of the Little Rabbit River and Rabbit River. This rural landscape is heavily marked by its community landmarks, including the Burnips Post Office and a series of burial grounds like Salem Cemetery and Tanner Cemetery. These features provide essential points of reference for local historians and genealogists tracking family lineages in the township.

Southern reaches of the map shift toward recreational land use, centered on Sandy Pines and the Sandy Pines RV Resort. The terrain is dotted with small bodies of water such as Cady Lake, Shipp Lake, and East Lake, many of which support seasonal camps including Beechwood Hills Camp and East Lake Camping. This mix of established crossroads settlements like Monterey Center and modern vacation sites illustrates the evolving character of Michigan's countryside.
